check air flow meter, any lights come on while the car does this? like the check engine light?

Firstly, check all plugged connections in the engine bay, make sure nothing has come loose or fallen off.

Then, check ignition timing, check cam timing, check plugs and leads, do a compression test.

If all the above is ok, then start lookin at the fuel side of things. Check fuel pump, replace filter, clean and flow injectors.

Let us know how you go.

Ignition leads are shot.

Check the plugs to see if one of them has burnt an end off.

10 to 1 your leads are sparking against something.

You have a collapsed catalytic convertor :wink:

The EXACT same symptoms happened to my hyandai scoupe.

I was heading up a hill and it collapsed and even if I added more throttle it died WORSE! but if I did baby it it would accelerate VERY slowly

Its my strongest feeling that this is what it is.

Give it a tap with a hammer OR unbolt it and see if the honeycomb inside comes loose :wink:

How can you say this is definately the problem. Most fo the time if the leads are ****** it will miss on idle, miss on acceleration and on cruising.....Not just over 3k.

I would say Cat and possibly timing. But as Dre said it could be A LOT of things! its almost impossible to diagnose a problem like this without seeing the car in person.
